Hello, today one of the tasks were to make a video how to do the box method and estimate. The box method is when you have a box split into quarters. Now you would normally have a times equation to put beside or above the box so you split the numbers in place value and you write the number beside or above a square. Then you times each equation to get the answer for each box. Then you make an algorithm and you add up all the answers in the box and you will get your answer.
Just to help here is a video I have made.
Enjoy!
Great work Jeremy. I didn't tell you, but when you have a number like 1.45 to put into the grid, you should make the box 3 long and split 145 into 100 + 40 + 5.
